Bit small for you then

You've not done well here.

is the handlebar stem pictured included?

how high is that stem???

Each to his own. At the end of the day, it's a lovely frame. I would have liked to see some more detailed photos though.

First bike to make me laugh in ages. Thanks.

Hmmmm, i might be interested.
My missus has tiny legs ;-)
Will discuss (persuade) and get back to you asap

Is it even safe to have a stem up that high?

My size bike :0)

way too small for me, but looks like a nice set-up.

Is it even safe to have a stem up that high?

Yep, surely.

Its a nice sit up and beg...........

for your life. ;D

sorry guys i thought people recognized a quality machine when they saw one

We do...

Have I missed something? Why is everyone being so fucking rude? It's perfectly normal to see stems up high in touring circles; perhaps those that find it oh-so-funny should get a clue. And anyway, it's nothing compared to some of the laughable fads adhered to by fixie posers.

Nice bike and a good price Biggs, good luck!
